You missed Apple TV+, YouTube Premium, every premium (Showtime, Epix, Starz, etc) and probably way more.
For years people told me that they wanted a la carte TV channels, and I told them that they really, really didn't, that channels would cost more a la carte than bundled. If you get 200 channels for $100, that doesn't mean that each channel is $0.50; it means that the ones you watch are $5-$20 each, the ones you ignore are a few cents each, and the shopping channels are -$2 each.
It's actually good for me; my overall bill is less than it was when I had primary TV provider. But I don't watch much TV.
Heh. I do watch some TV, and my partner watches a fair amount, so cancelling it all is not an option, and buying shows a la carte would also not work well.

become better people as a result of practicing it.

This is not the a la carte cable TV that we wanted.
Although if they were all $4.99 per month, then maybe.

I know a way you can save even more on your TV bill.
